I checked a few of the files that got the lsetxattr warning,
and they seemed to have no attributes before or after, eg
[root@alfred tim]# lsattr -v /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[root@alfred tim]# lsattr -v /mnt/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

So I guess the warning just meant something like:
"if you did have any attributes set they would not have been copied".
I think my reference to lsattr was a red herring, and that those attributes
are "standard" ones stored in the inode. The extended attributes are viewed
with "getfattr -d filename". (The -d is to dump all EA's to the screen.
"man getfattr" for details.)
